Introduction

By editing the provider properties in the display profile XML files, you can
create customized display profile provider definitions. Any time you modify
a display profile document, use the psadmin command (or
the administration console) to store it in LDAP.

The Portal Server software sample portal display profile XML fragments
define the default values for all expected properties, so that channels that
use the supplied providers do not have to define all the properties, only
the ones that need to be different.

Note –

Depending on the merge priorities and locking assigned to the
display profile documents that make up a user’s display profile, the
ultimate property values that are returned to a user’s Desktop can change.
